Abstract

This paper will explore policy shifts in Nigeria’s oil and gas, solar, nuclear, and mineral energy sectors. This policy shift by way of a transition, indigenization, and Nigerianization, has given way to deregulation, decentralization, and de-indigenization of many industries, most notably in the oil and gas sector, through the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) of 2021 and the Local Content Act of 2010 (LCA). The paper recommends, amongst others, the establishment of a new legal regime that grants resource-based and property rights to resource-bearing communities and incorporates principles of international law, energy diplomacies, International Environmental Law, and international best practices.

尼日利亚能源行业法律框架和政策转变评估

本文将探讨尼日利亚石油和天然气、太阳能、核能和矿产能源部门的政策转变。通过 2021 年的《石油工业法》（PIA）和 2010 年的《本地内容法》（LCA），这种以转型、本地化和尼日利亚化为途径的政策转变已使许多行业出现了放松管制、权力下放和去本地化的情况，其中最突出的是石油和天然气行业。除其他外，本文建议建立一个新的法律制度，赋予资源社区以资源为基础的财产权，并纳入国际法原则、能源外交、国际环境法和国际最佳做法。
